German Residents of France.
LCoryriRht. 1887 by the New York Associated Press
BERLIN, July 16-The tension OF feeling to-
ward France has relaxed since the French fete
day has passed without the occurrence of any
anti-German demonstration. Accounts in the
German papers OF the incidents In Paris on
Thursday, represent that the repression of a
popular outburst was solely accomplished by the
presence Of such masses Of troops all along the
route travelled by President Grevy and his Min
listers their way to the review at Longchamps
as had never been seen in Paris since tho days OF
the empire. and the papers seek to prove that
the populace were in reality unable to make q
demonstration, and that the extraordinary pre-
cautions taken by tho government. although
successful in paraIyzing the Chauvinists, gave
fictitious aspect to the cslmness which charac-
terized the day. The German embassy in Paris
was specially guarded There was no appear
ancs OF troops in front OF the building but n
body OF cavalry was kept on the alert and
moving In tina vicinity from early morning till
midnight The return of the German people to q
cAlmer mood toward France can DO assured,
however, only by the cessation of the systematic
towns. yet the tendency seems all the other way.
The Chauvinst press continue TO publish the
names and addresses OF Germans who have
places OF business in France and warn members
OF the Patriotic League not to have any dealings
with them. The Deutchensej contends that mi
nor German employees are being hunted out Of
their places at the rate OF hundreds weekly, and
it is estimated that the Germans holding situa-
lions In France, who last year mum beredS2, 900,
have been decreased one-haf within the past
six months. Count Won Munster, German en-
bassador at Paris, is having a constant stream OF
appeals for help against the outrages which are
being perpetrated upon Germans The sufferers

ployment In the manufacturing centers OF

In the future Since Count Won Munster made
romonstrances against the ill-treatment OF his
countrymen. the German consulates At Bor-
deaux and Rouen report street attacks upon
Germans in those cities. and the Bordeaux con

have been smashed.
The Kreuz Zeitung. the Tagcblatt, the North
German Gazette, and the Cologne Gazette

Iutely necessary for the French government to
intsrpose resolutely to stop German batting"
